@bruce_toews I'm with Matt on this. UEB drives me crazy in a lot of aesthetic and braille display cell wasting ways, and also UEB pretends that complex math just isn't a thing that braille readers need or even, dare I say it, may want to do.

  1. @acarson @soundshadow87 @bruce_toews So I’m sure everyone has heard this by now, but I started using UEB in high school, because the poor old Braille Note MPower couldn’t do a proper equals sign in US math. Yes, I eventually figured out I could just do computer Braille, but I was young and just kinda wanted things to work. So I started looking into the other Braille codes, and found that UEB had an equals sign. So I started using UEB from that point on. Although, now that I’m trying to read faster, I might switch back and see if things get better.
